1st 8 (1) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steps up further in class but he has progressive York form and brings impressive stats, being 3-4 over C&D (gained last win cosily in good-ground Listed race) and 4-9 in headgear, which is reapplied with Newmarket reappearance under his belt; has a better chance than bare ratings suggest. |
12/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has form on the Newmarket tracks but recorded last three wins at York, including when beating Crestofdistinction with more in hand than the narrow margin suggests in Listed grade on most recent appearance; likely to be more interesting when back at that venue. |

3rd 12 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful on his day for Brian Meehan, third to subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair over C&D (good to firm) last spring off an 11lb higher mark; might have needed both his runs for new connections, midfield over C&D at the Dante meeting last time; very dangerous if staging a revival. |
10/1 |
|
11th 13 (20) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
His form has gone the wrong way since he was third in this last year (good to firm), behind two subsequent Group-race winners, and he needs a good step forward from his recent stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) where he was seventh; however, he's 8lb lower than 12 months ago and could be just the type that David O'Meara excels with; interesting contender. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Poor strike-rate for one of his ability when trained by Brian Meehan but he can go well fresh and is starting out for David O'Meara (sold 22,000gns last October) off a dangerous mark, some 6lb lower than when third in a hot 5f handicap at York's Dante meeting last May; possible he'll have one eye on that prize but still more interesting than many. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Not beaten far at Newmarket (6f, good) and Newbury (6f, good to firm) last May and he's well handicapped on that form; however, below best on final two starts last season and likewise on recent reappearance at Newmarket. |
33/1 |
|
8th 10 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
6lb lower than for his close sixth in this race 12 months ago; he had the benefit of a pipe-opener before that race, though, and he comes here after a 264-day layoff; should be ending his losing run soon but perhaps not in this field. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Has gained his wins over 6f on turf and 7f on AW; inconsistent since last success and has something to prove over this trip in this sphere; change of headgear. |
33/1 |
|
9th 1 (12) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who hasn't run over this trip since February; below best on last two outings and plenty to prove from widest draw back on AW. |
12/1 |
|
12th 4 (3) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Regained the winning thread at Newbury in April; inconsistent results over C&D since; each-way possibilities on penultimate effort (good second) but isn't guaranteed to reproduce it. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Dual Tapeta winner last year who's looked to find this mark just beyond him in three runs back; pulled hard and didn't see it out last time (7f) but this will be more about speed on his first ever crack at sprinting. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of his five races since gelded, both over 7f on the Southwell Tapeta; latest fourth at Newcastle (7f) was a fine run as well, with the first three ridden handier and he found some trouble in running; should get involved if as effective back on turf. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Shaped okay at Lingfield in January; down the field at Leicester last month but he was harried up front and weakened in the final furlong; dropped 2lb and this easier track will help; one to consider. |
9/2 |
|
10th 10 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ran creditably at Lingfield in January when bidding for a 6f AW double; 8lb higher than when second at Newmarket (7f) on last turf attempt but he's proved consistent since being gelded and his first two handicap wins were on good to firm; in the mix. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't won for a while but was an encouraging third on his return at action at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; sports a first-time visor and is well-handicapped on his old form. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has returned to AW this year, best efforts when placed twice; losing run is mounting up but he has loads of Windsor form, including three wins, and returns to this venue off an attractive mark; possibilities. |
8/1 |
